Baby Name Genius by Nametrix

Overall like the variety of names to choose from. The data and complementary name suggestions really sold me as well as being able to do this with my partner. Where this app completely fails is this forced separation of girl/boy names and always having to toggle. It’s really annoying. And there’s no way to search unisex names. Lose the forced gender separation for 5 stars.

I have used this app for years to help name my kiddos, but I recently updated it and noticed that they have included political affiliation in the name statistics. This is absolutely ridiculous and will only serve to increase division and “otherness” as well as people judging children solely based on their name.

A few things that would improve the app: 1. An additional option that lets you “like” or “love” a name but lets you mark that you do not want to use it because you have someone too close to you with the name (a cousin, another sibling, or it’s the name of someone you don’t like). 2. A way to sort by different themes and popularities.

Loved this app, but now I can’t even open it without it crashing?

I loved this app, even though it didn’t have many of the names I looked for. I liked how the info was organized and I thought it was very informative, entertaining, and interesting. They changed the format lately and I cannot give more than 1 star. It went from 5 to 1. I’m so sad I cannot access the same information anymore.

I’d like it more if there was a back button so I could go back to the names I’m looking at after viewing one specific name. I hate how it sends you all the way back to the beginning of the name list.

While this app has a ton of names and interesting data, it’s not conducive to browsing names or quick-adding them to a favorites list. You have to go to a name’s info page in order to favorite it. But then, once you click on a name, there’s no “back” button to take you the list you were looking at. You have to go to the main menu, choose the list again, and scroll down to where you’d left off. I tried this for about 10 minutes before giving up. Not worth your time.

Great information and easy to use. Clean design. Even though I’m done having kids, I love having it on my phone to reference when I need.

I have an obsession with names, and this site is a quick resource.

I love being able to see the historical popularity of names, being able to sort by era, and also being able to hear the name just to make sure you’ve picked out the correct spelling for the pronunciation you desire.
